Fetch, Cat. Fetch!
by Charles GhignaFetch, Cat. Fetch! is an endearing message of patience and love mixed with a big dose of humor. A winning combination when dealing with pets … and people! Author Charles Ghigna—Father Goose®—masterfully encourages young children to build reading comprehension skills and to gain confidence in this comical look at a special bond between a girl and her beloved cat. This beginning reader, through simple language and short sentences, captures the laughter and joy of watching a sweet, patient child trying to teach her cat to do tricks. The lovable, stubborn, lazy pet cat, on the other hand, just wants to nap all day and refuses her attempts to play fetch, or to sit, shake, roll over, or do any other tricks that a dog would do. Subtle humor, sight words, and lots of repetition make this a unique and fun first independent reading book. And just when the reader thinks the cat will finally get his nap, a clever twist of irony will have children laughing hysterically. The girl finally gives up and asks the cat to stay, and that’s when he finally gets up—and runs away!
Fibbed
by Elizabeth Agyemang"Elizabeth Agyemang smartly weaves culture, adventure, and a little magic into a dynamic story about stories. Agyemang's colorful illustrations breathe life into Nana's journey as she connects with her roots and learns to believe in her own voice. At its core, FIBBED is a bold reminder that stories—and those who tell them—have power." —Booki Vivat, New York Times bestselling author of the Frazzled series A magical middle-grade graphic novel about a girl who doesn&’t lie but no one believes, and who winds up tangled in the web of a trickster spider of Ghanaian lore, Ananse.Everyone says that the wild stories Nana tells are big fibs. But she always tells the truth, as ridiculous as it sounds to hear about the troupe of circus squirrels stealing her teacher&’s toupee. When another outlandish explanation lands her in hot water again, her parents announce that Nana will be spending the summer with her grandmother in Ghana. She isn&’t happy to be missing the summer camp she&’s looked forward to all year, or to be living with family that she barely knows, in a country where she can&’t really speak the native language. But all her worries get a whole lot bigger—literally—when she comes face-to-face with Ananse, the trickster spider of legend. Nana soon discovers that the forest around the village is a place of magic watched over by Ananse. But a group of greedy contractors are draining the magic from the land, intent on selling the wishes for their own gain. Nana must join forces with her cousin Tiwaa, new friend Akwesi, and Ananse himself to save the magic from those who are out to steal it before the magic—and the forest—are gone for good.
